My friend made me this leash hanger and it’s absolutely perfect!

Crazyhouse is a chess variant where captured pieces can be dropped back onto the board (on your team) in lieu of moving a piece.

This is probably one of my shortest games played against Stockfish level 3, which plays at about ~1200 level, and is my favorite level for playing a quick (<2 minute) match against since it allows for potential recovery in the event of a blunder, though I really should be playing at level 4 (~1500).

QxC8 would have been more elegant, but I think I got distracted by the prospect of dropping the former black queen back into its starting square for the checkmate.

That thing will cause an outbreak of radioactive flesh-eating kangaroos I'm sure. Or something even worse. Mutant Huntsman spiders, 6 feet wide. It's Australia.

They are anyway it's just the tourist boards cover it up.

From the description, it sounds like gamma radiation. Goes through almost anything except lead. I wonder why it wasn't put into a lead container.

The benefit of the gamma radiation is the half life is usually short.

I wonder why it wasn't put into a lead container.

By rights it should have been in a larger shielded container with warning stickers all over it. I can't imagine such a dangerous thing being accepted by freight companies without serious safeguards in place, but the way that story reads this might not be the case.

For a short period I was the head storeman in Bridge Toyota in Darwin, we had to ship parts to all sorts of places including Indonesia. Most parts would go by air for quick delivery but some parts are illegal to fly, including seatbelts. They contain an explosive charge so even the truck drivers used to treat them as a special case.

In an antique store today, I saw an old record with a title that aged VERY badly. It was Bill Cosby and called “Bill Cosby Is A Very Funny Fellow...Right?”
